PNRKERsBuRG, w. Va, Dec. l3.-iSlsi
night the family OF Joseph Mullen, in
Cabell county, below here, were awakened
by noises at the window. A little girl told
her sister that she thought some men were
trying TO get in. The next minute the
form OF q large negro was seen half way
through an up stairs window. Slipping
out Of the room, the young lady got a re-
yolyCr Returniss quietly she watched
the ncgro's actions. Her noise evidently
had frightened him, for after getting into
the room he crlwled half way ont again,
when the Young woman, TO Brighten him,
fired the revolver. She made u center
shot, however, and the burglar fell dead
on porch and rolled 10 the ground. An
Investigation showed that the bullet had
entered his brain Another man was seen
running away, but he was no, caught.
The Young woman, OF course has been
declared innocent oi any attempt at muir
der Though much shocked at what she
dill, she is the heroine Of the hour.

CHILLY EXPERIENCE OF THE STEAMSHIP MONT
ROSA IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC

CHILLY EXPERIENCE OF THE STEAMSHIP MONTE
ROSA IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC.
The steamship Monte Rosa, which arrived In
New York yesterday from Dundee, reports that
on February 1S, at a. ~, in heavy snow storm,
on the northeast edge OF the Banks fell in with a
large field Of ice, extending as far as the eye
could see; followed the edge OF the ice to south.
east 30 miles, then southwest about Is miles when
the ship became entirely shut In; the ice looked
like low land covered with snow, with great
many fcebergs, some OF which were quite large;
getting clear OF the ice, followed the edge to the
southeast until next morning. and then southwest.
out was soon surrounded, and changed course
again to the southeast; at 10 am. could see moth.
ing to the westward but a large field OF ice and
numerous 1cebergS; Steered south until pm. and
got clear of 1t in latitude 1890 on the east edge Of
the banks; had followed the ice about one hundred
and eighty miles.
UNUSUALLY EARLY APPEARANCE OF THE BRRGs
The New York Tribune says: Those arctic terrors
that always cause apprehension to transatlantic
navigatOrS who cross the banks Of Newfound-
land have made their appearance unusually early
this season. Every steamship that has arrived in
the last week, unless She has taken q course well
to the southwark OF the usual track, reports hav-
ing encountered monster ice mountains or ice
neldS OF large area The steamship Fulda, which
arrived from southampton yesterday, passed
four degrees and forty minutes north, longitude
f0rty-eight degrees and fOrty-three minutes west
The region lying two degrees east and two degrees
north OF the points mentioned seems to be one
immense field or broken ice and icebergS. They
are probably the winter formation in the coves
driven to the southwark by the prevailing north
west winds They are the dreaded bugbears Of
the banks OF Newfoundland from about the middle
OF February till the LIST OF May.

''There's a difference Of opinion as to peanuts
said the old man, as he sat upon bag and scat
tered the little brittle shells on the fioor about
him. "Some folks think peanuts amt refined:
that they belong TO the lower walks OF life and
never were intended to be eaten BY people OF
wealth and refinement. No more than they think
circuses are the proper resorts of full-dress
fashion,
"There'S sort OF association he added diving
his hand into bag that stood with open-mouthed
hospitality by hts side; ''theres sort of associa-
ton between peanuts and circuses. They bear
about the same relation to society," and they travel
together largely. They are neither recognized In
